If the first game was sloppy and ragged, this game was the opposite in nearly every way. As Leon Lett once said, Texas had a 360-degree turnaround from game #1; from the defensive effort to the offensive execution, this was the Longhorns squad people wanted to see in 2016. Let’s get to it.
The Good
Jarrett Allen
Texas fans better get out to see Allen this season, because barring a Lamarcus Aldridge injury situation, Allen is gone at the end of the year. He’s flat out too good to stick around. That combination of size and speed is rare, and the only reason he’s not getting talked about as a top-5 pick is his lack of outside shooting ability.
